Sheepshead Bay, old and new: Rental-and-condo tower soars above subway station
Eye on Real Estate
This tower’s so fancy that it has two names.
The glittering glass-faced building under construction next to the Sheepshead Bay B and Q train station is called Avalon Brooklyn Bay if you’re talking about rental apartments. It’s called 1 Brooklyn Bay if you’re talking about condos.
The site where the 28-story tower is being constructed is often identified by the address 1501Voorhies Ave. Avalon Brooklyn Bay is using one of the property’s other addresses, 1524 Sheepshead Bay Road.
